Are you wondering whether heat packs actually work? Wondering if saunas are more than just a spa day treat? Tune in to Dr. Jen & Dr. Dom explain how heat relates to physiological, localized, and systemic effects throughout the body. With an initial conversation about localized heat applications and the nervous system, they explore the use of saunas, uncovering some mind-blowing statistics on how changing up the environment can have profound effects on systemic adaptations.
